Call for Follow-on Research Grant under ICMR- Intramural Research Program-2026

Applicants must be intramural researchers with promising results and leads from prior ICMR grants[cite: 2]. The follow-on proposal must be linked to previous ICMR grants and demonstrate incremental research[cite: 2].

Under the intramural research program, ICMR proposes to launch a Follow-on Research Grant to help intramural researchers bridge the gap between initial funding cycles and commercialization[cite: 2]. It provides funding to transform promising results and leads from prior ICMR grants into the next stages of development and commercialization[cite: 2]. The 'Follow-on Research Grant' intends to leverage the transformation of research-leads, innovation ideas, or new technologies generated through previous ICMR grants to the next level[cite: 2]. The follow-on proposal must be linked to previous ICMR grants and demonstrate incremental research[cite: 2].
